Question

question 4 of 10
read the first stanza of ezra pounds poem \the garden\ below.
like a skein of loose silk blown against a wall
she walks by the railing of a path in kensington gardens,
and she is dying piece - meal
of a sort of emotional anemia.
which of these best describes the structure pound uses here?
a. sonnet
b. blank verse
c. free verse
d. iambic meter

Explanation:

A sonnet has 14 lines with a specific rhyme - scheme and meter, which this poem doesn't have. Blank verse is unrhymed iambic pentameter, and this doesn't follow that pattern. Iambic meter refers to a rhythmic pattern, and while there may be some iambs, it doesn't fully describe the structure. Free - verse has no regular meter or rhyme scheme, which fits this poem as it doesn't adhere to any set rhythmic or rhyming pattern.

Answer:

C. Free verse
